Guitar Bridge and Pickup Detail

The bridge saddles are canted to place the
strings over the centers of the poles. Which is not fully evident
from the perspective in this closeup picture. The pickup has been
raised closer to the strings for more output, and closer to the
centers of the smaller string than the largest to make the high
notes sound as loud as the low notes, or so it seemed at the time.
This setup has a harsher, more noisy metallic sound than for strings
positioned over the edges of the pole pieces. s
